In the future airplanes with have a cockpit with only a man and a dog. The man’s job is to feed the dog and the dog’s job is to bite the man if he tries to touch anything.

Charles Lindbergh crossed the atlantic in an aircraft with no forward visibility and only two small side windows.

I agree. I’d go even further: why have a human flight crew at all? Most of the current flight operations are done by computer. All the human pilots do is stand by for situations that may require an intervention. More often than not, the intervention is the wrong one.

Early in the design of Concorde, it was thought difficult/impossible to have flight deck windows, given extremes of temperatures, etc. Pilots would have nothing to do with the notion.
When all else fails, you need a human being. Recall the incident in Barcelona just a few days ago...

I wonder how that would have worked out in Barcelona in the last week or so...

filed a patent application Dec. 23, published June 26, for a flight deck that relies mostly or entirely on electronic viewscreens I wonder how many pilots are in on that opinion!
IIRC they didn't want to put windows in the Mercury space capsule, either - until the astronauts got involved.

Why not just build the fuselage skin out of transparent aluminum? The whole thing then becomes a window.

Because the avionics and flight control software will work flawlessly, maybe I will avoid those planes till the bugs are worked out.

The heck with the pilots. How about cameras mounted around the plane, with video monitors for the passengers? I’d love to have a bird’s eye view when flying.
